Are we Conscious?

 What is consciousness?  The standard idea of consciousness has to do with awareness.  If you are aware and thinking then you are conscious.  It turns out that might not be exactly correct.  The idea of consciousness is changing as humans create different ideas and technologies that are designed to manipulate what we think consciousness should be.  It is no longer, "I Think therefore I Am."  It is becoming just, "I Am."  As it was in the beginning and so forth. 

This past weekend I heard a statement from a source that I thought I would never hear.  That was, "The digital universe has developed it's own consciousness."  This statement was put out there for the listeners to grab onto without any real explanation, why, how, what, or who, from a group of Indian Yogis and Gurus.  The conversation then went in a direction where the idea of a Digital consciousness and universe might be an integral part of this reality.  I find that idea terrifying and fascinating at the same time.  

I began investigating what the idea of Consciousness really is.  What I found is a change in thought both metaphysically and scientifically.   Both disciplines are now meeting in the middle of the line of progression and merging thought.  From this merging new ideas of the nature of consciousness and the universe are emerging.  In the end it is not what we thought.  We have discovered that we are wrong.

As it turns out consciousness starts as everything you experience from the smallest sensation to the largest explosion of stimuli.  However, what that consciousness is turns out not to be the actual sensation or experience of a sensation, but the energies that are binding that experience to you and itself.   

Scientifically consciousness is being drawn down to the strong and weak nuclear forces within an atom.  The new scientific thought is that consciousness has it's beginnings at the atomic level.  These two forces combine and bind the atom together, which binds molecular structure together in turn creates and binds all physical existence together.  

On the sub atomic level the particles of an atom are separated by relatively huge spans of space filled with "Nothing".  This nothing is manipulated by one or both of these forces.  This manipulation binds everything together as the strongest force in existence.  This is the formulation of consciousness.  From nothing all things come.  Again we're back to Shiva.

We are beginning to understand what consciousness is, the energies that bind all things together. Then what is consciousness not?  Consciousness is not, it turns out, to be thought, it is not intelligence, consciousness is not awareness, nor is it anything that separates human beings from anything else.  Consciousness is the energy that binds all of the multiverse together, and at the very core of that energy we find Shiva which means, "No Thing."  Therefore consciousness creates and destroys indiscriminately with no feeling or thought, no understanding or idea, it just is.  

The digital universe raising itself to the conscious level then is not necessarily a growing intellectual giant, although it is, it is instead at the partial level binding itself together just like the standard universe does at the atomic level.    Now a new question comes to the forefront, which one is in charge?

I, the Center of the Multiverse.

 If you think of yourself as the center of your own experience then you become the center of your own universe.  We can say you are the center of a series of ever expanding spheres.  You are at the very center of your personal space or sphere that extends from your center outwardly to an area that extends for a certain distance from your finger tips, toes, head, and shoulders.  You carry this space with you wherever you go.  It is this space in which you experience contact with the rest of the multiverse.  

What is the multiverse then?  The multiverse are the many forms of universal expression that makes up the physical, metaphysical, spiritual, chemical, and intellectual realms that create this universe and all universes we contact through any one of the other aspects of our personal universal sphere.  What the hell does that mean?  That means the multiverse is the collective of all known and unknown aspects of everything.  We can give it a name, Shiva.

We've all heard the name Shiva which is actually a combination of two words Shi or That and Va, which is not.  The name Shiva means, "That which is Not."  Or existing outside the confines of this universe.  So basically Lord Shiva the Great Destructor and Creator creates everything from nothing then breaks it back down and does it all over again.  This is a cyclical event that happens about every 23,000 years according to the Hindu calendar.  However, the laws of physics tell us that everything that existed exists already, that nothing can be created or destroyed only transformed into something else.  So what Shiva does is create and recreate new models of himself hence the multiverse.   Complicated.

Your sphere from your perspective is the center of all this activity, and your sphere comes in contact with many other spheres of the multiverse.  When this happens you experience something new adding it to your sphere and so on.  Your universe expands and likewise the multiverse get larger.  At every point of contact huge amounts of energy is expelled both inwardly and outwardly, toward you and outward from you.  You become the physical embodiment of Shiva, "That which is Not."  

In our physical existence we must stay within the perimeters of the physical laws of this universe as it relates to the multiverse.  When we learn how to focus the One, that is your mind, consciously in a direction we learn how to manipulate these physical laws.  After learning to manipulate these laws with your mind, the One, then you are teaching yourself to manipulate the laws of the rest of the multiverse.  That's when the magic happens. 

From your perspective you stand at the center of the multiverse from your personal universe, your sphere.  Your sphere comes in contact with other spheres and at each point of contact immense amounts of power are shed.  A focused and concentrated mind can harness this energy and create or destroy rearraigning the matter of everything.  By staying within and using the physical laws of Our universe.

The BiG Bang

The Big Bang started as a point smaller than the sharp end of a pin.  It collected so much energy that it achieved critical mass and, "Boom".  Should we call it the Big Boom?  Maybe, because, "Big Bang" could mean a whole plethora of ideas. Some are just down right dirty.  But, I digress.  

The 1st law of Physics states, "That no matter is either created nor destroyed, it just is."  Matter can change forms from one state to another.  In example: Ice changing to liquid water or water changing to gas vapor or several combinations of each.  And that is true for any element, or molecule that is birthed from the Periodic Table of Elements.  

So then, How is it possible that a universe the size of ours is birthed from a smaller than needle sized piece of space.  If everything already exists only changes, how can all this stuff come from nothing?  That breaks the 1st law of Physics.  Maybe there is something wrong with our understanding of Physics?

Lots of questions very few answers.  I do have a Theory.  Instead of, "Exploding" outwardly to create everything here, why not implode inwardly creating everything here.  Picture it like a sock slowly being pulled inside out.  A large entity, Let's say the owner of the celestial sock, reaches in and grabs the toe from the inside of the sock and starts pulling it out from within itself.  Folding space inwardly forever grabbing more space each eon it travels collecting Dark energies as it goes, creating everything in its wake.  

This would give the universe the shape of an oblong bubble that looks like an immense hour glass.  At it's center all space and time is folding in, and at each end space time are forever expanding further inwardly.  That would means we exist within the universe not without the universe.  And, maybe there are other types of beings on the outer rims of our universe coming from their own types of universes invading and or exploring ours.  That simple shift actually makes the laws of Physics work as far as the universal energies are concerned.  There would be no need for complicated over explanations.

Think about it...

More Cross Training.

 Sometimes you walk outside and say unpleasant things.  Often you anticipate imaginary outcomes from things that you're expecting to happen verses what actually transpires.  The final results are usually unexpected and not what you thought was going to happen.

This morning the universe in her infinite wisdom decided to throw at us another one of life's exotic lessons.  I woke at about 3:30 in the AM. and put on a pair of boots and wandered forth to my driveway to check out the weather situation.  At that time the fallen snow was manageable all was good in the world, I went back inside.  

While indoors I progressed through my normal morning thing complete with sacred coffee and deep breathing.  When the voice in my head told me I had, had enough that my brain was adequately oxygenated I made my wife and I some breakfast as I just received a notice of a two hour delay for school.   Considering I had already walked out and checked the drive way out, I decided that another look was warranted, and a good thing I did to.  Boot's back on I wandered out the door to take a look see.  "Oh My.." was all I could say.

Shovel in hand I attacked the rather large gift the snow plow guy had left at the front of my drive.  Knocking it half way back I then focused on my vehicle.  I started  up the pony, turned on the heater, and started sweeping her off.  That actually took some time there was a tad bit of snow on board.  

Backing out of my parking spot I then dug out the area around the steps to the door.  That was fun, I was enjoying the pushing of white stuff around.  The temp was not cold, not hot, just right, the air was crisp and had that feel you get maybe once a season.  The thought crossed my mind that I could call in sick and play in the snow all day, but alas I am a diligent educator and would suffer the ills of guilt.  So, I didn't.  

After I cleaned up as much snow as I was going to in the time I'd given myself, I crawled back into the cab of the pony and began 4 wheeling all over the driveway.  My pony thinks she's a snow machine. It was great fun.  I parked and returned to the interior of my abode.  

Driving to school was interesting.  Snow had piled up and was beginning to fall again.  I made it to school this morning unscathed, rested, and fed, all was good in the world.  It's snowing harder now.  

I wonder what's it's going to look like after that last bell of the day?

This is My Universe.

 I would like to discuss the power of creation. Human beings have been giving a sacred gift.  We are all born with the ability to manifest reality through the power of our minds.  The human condition is a three layered or triune experience that starts within the physical body, extends outwardly to the non-physical realms that we call spiritual, then opens up in our thinking mind, what we call our conscience.  Each one of these parts of our being are intermingled with each of the other parts of our being.  We are a Holistic being that has the power to re-create and re-do our own experience.   We are our own gods.

For the practitioners of the quasi Hawaiian teachings of Huna, the secret knowledge coined by Max Freedom Long, the living experience is in the states of the Subconscious, the low self housed in the physical body, the conscience or middle self, the thinking self that is connected from the mind to the body, and the Spiritual or High Self that is the outward expression of the self that contains everything else non-physical, also called the God Self.  If we practice a Holistic form of communication with our three selves we will be able to tap into the Akashic record.  The Akashic record is the spiritual recording of all events that have passed, will pass, and are possible within our perception of the universe.  This understanding changes constantly with our changing understanding of our own perceptions.  We grow from a universal understanding to a multi-universal understanding and back again as our experiences come and go.   Mathematically if we charted this progress it would resemble the breathing in and out of a great organism, a living universe.  Huna is the Hawaiian word for Secret.

During my personal practices with the Martial Arts, Taiji Quan, Reiki, Dowsing, Huna, and my Native American heritage, I have discovered that we all have the abilities to manifest or create our own experiences.  Each one of our experiences like a Ven diagram interconnects with every experience we come in contact with.  Interconnecting us with every person we come in contact is the root to the creation of the many universal experience we can call the Multiverse. Each individual is an Universe within themselves.   

Because we are the root of our own universe and have the inherited abilities to manifest our realities as we see fit, we are responsible for the disposition of each of our own experiences.  We are responsible for the way the universal energies translate into our realities.  That being said, the universe as we experience it is a very literal creature and takes everything you ask of it at face value, so be very, very careful what you ask for and how you manifest your experience, for what you receive may or may not be what you "Thought" you asked for.   That is the difference between an enlightened adult God verses an adolescent "Newbie" to the biz.
